Hey Dr. Anil.V. George,
Welcome to Microsoft Vista Forum!
You need to install windows live messenger to use the webcam to not being able to video chat or use a video recorder to third parties to use the webcam.
I recommend you consult the following link for more information on the use of the webcam:
http://www.Microsoft.com/Canada/Home/communications-and-mobility/articles/webcam-basics-how-do-they-work.aspxIf the latest driver updates are required, you can also check the manufacturer's Web site to download the latest version of the driver for the camera for the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer, or if you have received a Driver from Sony disk, you can try to install the drivers for the camera using the disc.
Hope this information is useful.
Let me know if it worked.With regard to:

THIS PROBLEM IS WHEN CONNECT BLUETOOTH TO YOUR COMPUTER KEYBOARD, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR KEYBOARD, BUT IT IS FEATURES RATHER USELESS INCORPORATED BY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE COMPUTER.IF YOU HAVE A DELL, LENOVO OR ANY OTHER BRAND, YOUR SOLUTION CAN BE OF THE USELESS "" QUICKSET. "." EXE"PROCESS.WELL, after days of looking for a specific response from VAIO, finally I came with a solution for VAIO users whose computer is equipped with a receiver to blue tooth ATHEROS.
1 - type "regedit" in Start-Run menu to open your registry database.2 - navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATHEROS\VistaAddOn\KBNotify3. - the value of '0 '.Close regedit, restart your computer and you're done.Be careful not to change anything else in your registry, unless you know what you're doing.FIND THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION TOOK ME SEVERAL HOURS, SHAME ON MICROSOFT AND SONY, IT IS THE MOST STUPIDEST USELESS FILM THAT I HAVE EVER MET.If your bluetooth receiver isn't ATHEROS, simply look for the brand name of your receiver instead of 'ATHEROS' and look for a similar register, it may look like 'BTTray', 'BTNotify' or similar.Good luck -

Hi Johanna,.
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
I understand that you can not use the USB in Windows 7.
I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this
1. you get any error message?
2 have you tried using different USB ports?
3. any other USB key works on the computer in question?
4. do the USB works on any other computer?
5 have had any changes made to the computer before the show?
Please follow the methods.
Method 1:
Run the Microsoft fixit for the link.
Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us
Method 2:
As all devices have same also have USB device associated drivers. Appropriate sometimes drivers not detected after initial installation so reinstalling the drivers can fix the problems.
You can check after uninstalling and reinstalling USB drivers if you are able to connect. You can disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:
(a) click Startand then click Control Panel.
(b) click system and Maintenance, click System, and then click Device Manager.
(c) Note if the control panel is in Classic view, double-click Systemand then click on Device Manager.
(d) If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
(e) in Device Manager, double-click to expand the "USB Bus controllers", right click on the controller host, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
Check that if at all, there is an exclamation point on the pilot, it suggests problems with the installed driver.(f) repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.
Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.
We would be more than happy to help you if the steps above did not solve the problem.

How can I get my laptop Sony Vaio 5 months restart correctly?
My laptop Sony Vaio (model VGN - NS) is now a complete mess. I can't access Windows Mail Backup & insists that there is no restore point when there is, and that I did not insert a disc when I, and Windows Media Player has lost my music files (which are still in the Documents) and tells me it can't restore. I have access to a program to see after using a window appears telling me that it couldn't access! Windows seems to have completely lost the plot.
I tried to use Windows Error-checking tool. tried to re - start (with the help of expert from Microsoft since I'm a complete novice). I defragmented etc, all to nothing does not. I said that I can reinstall Windows, but it came pre-installed on my computer & in any case it seems a little drastic and I'm afraid to make things worse.
All this ringing the bells there?
If it's important, I have Windows Vista Premium.Looks like you have multiple questions.
1st. If there are no restore points, then obviously it's not an option :(If you do not have a Windows Vista Installation DVD and it comes preinstalled with your system, do you have a set of Recovery CD? Otherwise, you have probably a recovery on the computer and/or the program Partition do the Recovery CD
In any case, before go you on the road to recovery, I suggest doing what is called a SFC Scan.
Click Start
Click on all programs
Click on accessories
Right-click on command prompt and click run as administrator .
You should get a black screen and sitting at a command prompt that looks like c:\Users\your-username-here
Now, type the following command, and then press the ENTER key
sfc/scannowThis will scan the system files which can has been corrupted and will attempt to repair/replace the.
Let the Forum know the outcome of the SFC Scan... Thank you -

Hi Tinkerbellfancolorado,
- When is this last work fine?
- Do you receive an error message or error codes?
- Recent changes on the computer?
There could be several causes for this problem.
Try starting with these methods.
Method 1
Step 1
- Open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then click diagnose and repair.
- Make sure that all cables are connected (for example, make sure that your modem is connected to a working jack or cable phone connection, either directly or through a router).
- Reset your modem and router. Remove the power cord from the modem or router, wait at least 10 seconds, then plug in the modem and/or router back.
Step 2
Another reason may be windows disable your network adapter to save power. Turn off the power saving option in the properties of the network (wired network only cards) card:
- Open network connections by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, click network and sharing Center, and then clicking manage network connections.
- Right-click on the connection and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
- On the Networking tab, click Configure.
- On the power management tab, clear the allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option, and then click OK.

Laptop Sony vaio with windows home premium 64 - bit randomly bluescreening
I had one laptop Sony Vaio for Christmas and a month later he badly infected and had to be wiped. My friend helped me to wipe the laptop and reinstall the drivers and a copy of windows 7 64-bit edition Home premium. A few weeks later I noticed he started bluescreen randomly. A few weeks after it starts to crash any Web browser randomly. He seems to hate Fire Fox, more than any other. It's getting pretty bad now and I really need help, trying to get my laptop in good working condition. I tried several anti virus and malware research but they apparently find nothing every time. I unfortunately did not get a disc of windows 7 recovery of Sony and would like to try to solve this problem without having to pay more money but if needed to.
Your Sony has been provided with a partition hidden restore and you need to follow instructions Sony to create the defined recovery disc, then visit Sony support and find out how to access the hidden restore partition and the defined recovery disk.
If your friend has destroyed the car when it installed win7, and where he got that?, you will need to contact Sony support to request the recovery disc game, for which there will be a small fee

Hello
It may be an overheating problem and it is normally the main reason for your problem.
.
If it's a hardware problem, it would not not to restart.
That said, it is possible to have a hairline cracks in the motherboard, etc, which becomes obvious as soon as it warms up.
Check vents for hair, dust, etc. and do not use a laptop when it is based on material surfaces: bedspreads, blankets, etc.
If the problem persists, because it of a laptop, bring it to a local computer and reliable repair shop and get them to open and clean the dust inside...
Here is an interesting discussion about the reasons for your problem:
